In fact, Sporting Gijón have been struggling to win games for some time and they have recorded just a single victory from their last 8 fixtures, all of which have come in the Segunda Division. Home form shows, Sporting Gijón started the season strongly but have since lost 2 matches, firstly against Real Valladolid and most recently to Almeria.

Sporting Gijón have been struggling to keep clean sheets when playing in front of their own fans and have conceded goals in 5 of their last 6 Segunda Division games on home soil.
Real Sociedad B make the trip to the Estadio Municipal El Molinón having lost 1-0 at home against Ibiza last time out. It appeared as though the match was going to end without a goal but the visitors struck in the 85th minute to take maximum points. That result means Real Sociedad B have lost each of their last 3 league games, going down 1-0 at home against Las Palmas and 2-1 at Malaga.

Trends show Real Sociedad B have scored in each of their last 5 away league games and they have seen over 2.5 goals in each of their last 4 matches on the road.
Team news and Sporting Gijón are expected to be without Guille Rosas as the defender is recovering from a muscle problem. Striker and top scorer Uroš Đurđević has been called up to the Montenegro squad so will miss the match.
Real Sociedad B also have just one injury concern and Alex Sola is set to miss the match due to a meniscus injury.
Sporting Gijón have been dealt a blow with the call-up of Đurđević but will still see this as a chance to get back to winning ways. If the hosts are to come out on top, it will be by a narrow margin and we could see a 1-0 victory.
